Channel 5 acquires FORscene server

Forbidden Technologies plc (AIM: FBT), the AIM-quoted owner and developer of the market leading cloud video platform, FORscene, is pleased to announce that it has reached agreement for the  broadcaster, Channel 5, to acquire and integrate a FORscene server into its workflow with immediate effect.

Agreement follows a six-month trial which impressed Channel 5 with its workflow efficiencies.  Channel 5 staff had successfully used the system without the need for formal training and were ultimately influential in the decision to purchase.  FORscene proved especially valuable as a logging and rough-cut tool on the programme "Go Hard or Go Home" where it replaced tape and paper-based logging.

Channel 5 will deploy FORscene from the outset of its next production, "The Great Christmas Toy Giveaway" and plans to test the full potential of the platform.

Claire Freeman, head of post-production at Channel 5, said:

"I have been impressed by FORscene's capabilities during the trial and I look forward to exploring the full depth of the system's merit as our workflows develop."

Stephen Streater, CEO, Forbidden Technologies plc, said:

"I first worked with Channel 5 back in 2005 when it became the first broadcaster to log a TV series in FORscene. In the eight years since then, FORscene has been transformed into something far more than a logging tool. Its simplicity and power make it well suited to logging and sync pulls at Channel 5 and its editing functions are an added bonus."
